Asbestos Heart

By the time you're through with putting me
Through this agony deluxe
I'm gonna need an asbestos heart

I'm gonna need more time
Gonna need a lot more time

By the time I see your cold heels
Click and depart again
I'm gonna need a cast-iron lung

I'm gonna need more time
Gonna need a lot more time

By the time you've breathed the last
of all of the air in here
I'm gonna need armadillo skin

I'm gonna need more time
Gonna need a lot more time

By the time your time is finished with
This stripping me apart
I'm gonna need an asbestos heart

Cause I can't breathe the fire
That's pumping through this cave
I can't drink the water
Your cold blood won't save

By the time you're through you're through
With stripping me apart
I'm gonna need an asbestos heart

I'm gonna need more time
Gonna need a lot more time
